Well I edited and edited but nah couldn't think of something to that expressed my idea.
I kind of agree with you... but .. I think thoughts are stored as instances within memory rather than passed as output and input to and from cycles of consciousness . Like you see an apple in reality, and your mind stores that image in memory. You can now think of that that apple and modify it any way you like, and your mind will store that thought as another instance related to the first so that you could call up both at a later time and compare the ideas. If consciousness was a loop and the output was the input for a new cycle, you'd be thinking about the result of your last thought continuously. Or something like that I donno not in the mood for debates bleh
sounds like you're talking about imagination yo
bring an interesting question. can we ever create a machine that can imagine, create unique art, create music (and i mean music with words, no doubt we have already made something of that kind), poetry? and if it can, is it really it's own unique creation, or is it just what we programmed it to do?
i personally don't have an answer yet, every time i think of it i get caught up in loops. i most likely just don't know enough yet, about consciousness, free will, computers also, so i'm just gonna wait until one of you smart ponies have something to say.
